rollinbus: lets ban everything shall we. do you drive a car eat fast food drink work with chemicals smoking was the whipping boy for asbestos nanny state springs to mind perfume should be banned also .. it causes others to have reactions to it

electrician25hr: Yes smoking is just as hard (or ever harder) to quit the heroin habit.

But just as you did not start intermediately smoking a pack a day you gradually built up to smoking that pack a day.

It's the way you have to quit the smoking habit....QUIT GRADUALLY. Smoke less and less cigarettes each week till you no longer smoke any cigarettes. Quitting cold turkey don't work as well as quitting gradually.

Another way to quit for sure, is to die from lung cancer as it what you are paying to get when you smoke.......
